With the Internet, it's possible to access almost any information, communicate with anyone else in the world, and do much more. You can do all of this by connecting a computer to the Internet, which is also called going online. When someone says, a computer is online, it's just another way of saying it's connected to the Internet. It's important to realize that the Internet is a global network of physical cables, which can include copper telephone wires, TV cables, and fiber optic cables. Even wireless connections like Wi-Fi and 3G/4G rely on these physical cables to access the Internet. When you visit a website, your computer sends a request over these wires to a server. A server is where websites are stored, and it works a lot 9 ENT 401 E-BUSINESS like your computer's hard drive. Once the request arrives, the server retrieves the website and sends the correct data back to your computer. What's amazing is that this all happens in just a few seconds. This course has been designed, mainly, to develop your awareness of the E-business concept. It is assumed that such knowledge about E-business concept and models will not only improve your competences, but will also educate you in how to start and run an E-business. The first unit focuses on the idea of the Internet and its effect on businesses. 2.0 Objectives At the end of this unit, you should be able to: Understand the concept of the Internet Describe the relationship between the internet and a business Know the importance of the Internet in the society 3.0 Main Content 3.1 Meaning of Internet The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before.

  • Page 1 of 26 the Psychology Behind Morbid Reality
    Page 1 of 26 The psychology behind morbid reality: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of the fascination with blood, gore, injury, and death on the internet Rebecca Fox Supervised by: Jane Adlard May 2013 Page 2 of 25 The psychology behind morbid reality: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of the fascination with blood, gore, injury, and death on the internet ABSTRACT The psychological effects of viewing fictional, morbid and often, violent material are long researched and often in a negative light; yet despite the abundance and growing popularity of factual morbid material, predominately on the internet may be having on their psyche. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was crucial to gain best insight into participants’ experience with blood, gore, injury, and death; and ultimately, the research question; “why do people view (Anderson, 2012), few studies have explored the effects of watching someone become injured or die. Using five male and three female adult participants from around the world, this study looked to address the motivations behind viewing factual morbid material on the internet and the effects it reality material involving injury and/or death?” Themes identified participants’ keen interests in the material, along with reporting both positive and negative psychological consequences. In comparison with previous literature based on both factual and fictional morbid material (e.g. Zuckerman & Litle, 1986), albeit largely based on short-term exposure, results were mixed and further research with these participants or from other similar internet domains would be necessary to further explore the effects of viewing factual morbid material. This is an entirely original study and themes identified and conclusions drawn should be taken with caution, acting merely as an introduction to the psychology behind the fascination in viewing morbid material.

  • Hosting the Public Discourse: News Organizations, Digital
    Hosting the Public Discourse 1 Hosting the Public Discourse: News Organizations, Digital Intermediaries, and the Politics of Making Newsmedia Social Joshua Braun, Dept. of Communication, Cornell University Tarleton Gillespie, Dept. of Communication, Cornell University Contact: Joshua Braun 336 Kennedy Hall Dept. of Communication Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 [email protected] Hosting the Public Discourse 2 Abstract In this paper, we will examine the inverse and converging movement of two sets of institutions: news organizations, as they find that part of their mission necessarily includes hosting an unruly user community that doesn’t always play by the norms of journalism; and online media platforms and social networks designed for users to share content, finding that the content being shared is often a form of news, some of which challenges their established user guidelines. We draw on a range of in-depth interviews to understand how each industry is finding itself in the other’s turf, and facing the challenges and tensions the other has long coped with, but from its own distinct vantage point. From this we will explore the ways in which the roles of news provision and community management are increasingly intermingled—in ways that will continue to have an impact on both news organizations and digital intermediaries, along with their audiences and users. Hosting the Public Discourse 3 While today’s headlines are full of stories about the death of newspapers at the hands of the Internet, the longer story has been the efforts of all kinds of news organizations to adjust to, take advantage of, and in some ways migrate to an online environment.

  • GLOBAL HEALTH in PEDIATRIC EDUCATION: an Implementation Guide for Program Directors Global Health Task Force of the American Board of Pediatrics
    TABLE OF CONTENTS An Implementation Guide for Program Directors | 1 GLOBAL HEALTH IN PEDIATRIC EDUCATION: An Implementation Guide for Program Directors Global Health Task Force of the American Board of Pediatrics A COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE DESIGNED FOR: ✓ Pediatric Program Directors (Residency & Fellowship): Educators have seen significant changes in the field of global health (GH) education over the past two decades, with calls for universal pre-departure preparation for GH electives, increased emphasis on stateside GH training, and awareness of the ethical issues pertaining to short-term GH experiences. Meeting the demands of applicants and stakeholders in GH education is difficult for graduate medical educators, particularly when some of these training interests fall outside of core curriculum requirements. The authors developed this Guide to help busy educators implement pediatric GH education—both stateside and internationally—as easily as possible, regardless of program size or budget. Resources include suggestions for GH competencies, strategies for integrating GH education into existing frameworks, free online curricula, adaptable templates for GH-related policies and procedures, comprehensive checklists, and more. ✓ Chairs, Designated Institutional Officers, Graduate Medical Education Committees, & Institutional Leaders: Trainee demand is not the only driving force for pediatric GH education—the call is coming from other stakeholders as well. The Federation of Pediatric Organizations recommended in 2007 that all pediatric residency programs offer core GH training. To assist departments and institutions seeking to create an infrastructure to support GH training, the Guide provides checklists for safety, health, logistical, and legal considerations for trainees working globally; offers suggestions pertaining to assessment and evaluation of trainees, programs, and electives; and outlines best practices for GH electives and training partnerships.
